Last Updated 31 May 2023 (version 1.2.0)
We list below the major new IMI developments and their developers from version 1.1.0 (released December 2022) to 1.2.0 (released May 2023). If these developments have benefited your work we strongly encourage you to offer co-authorship on publications to the relevant developers. More detailed information about new releases can be found on the IMI Github repository. For questions or guidance please contact the IMI team at integrated-methane-inversion@g.harvard.edu.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Recent reprocessing of TROPOMI processor to v020400/020500 may have caused duplicate files with previous processor versions to be downloaded by the IMI. Check that all TROPOMI have unique timestamps. We recommend updating to IMI version 1.2.0, which has bug fixes to prevent these issues.
